At a sunny midwestern school that shall remain nameless, there is a place that the poor people must go to in order to buy certain things. This place, lets call it BuyMoar. In BuyMoar, they have a small piece of technology, from a company we’ll call GrannySmith. Online, where the regular folken shop, there is a place, lets call that “Wires and Knicknacks”, W&K for short.
Recently someone in this unnamed midwestern school went to BuyMoar, found the piece of technology that you can use with a computer from GrannySmith, in a bag from W&K. The price to get it from W&K? $10.11, shipping and everything. The price from BuyMoar? $24.99. Not any different part, not a different bag, but just a sticker put on the bag from W&K!
That’s a 247% markup! This is abominable, it’s unethical and pure profiteering. Whats more, the people in this midwestern school are bound by policy to always go to BuyMoar.
These people are fools. Pray for them.
